New T-8 and T-5 (slender) fluorescent tubes and electronic ballasts use about 30% less electricity compared to older 1-1/2" diameter tubes and magnetic ballasts.

Answer: The problem with placing neon lighting inside a vehicle is that the vehicle code is very specific about the color of lamps allowed on a vehicle and what color can be seen from what direction.
